From Upper
Avenue road overbridge, 2 BIL unit no.2100 (with 1955-built
replacement ex.2 HAL Driving Trailer Composite no.12857) departs Eastbourne
in 1961 with a Brighton to Ore train (headcode 16). In the background an
Express-Gear ratio 4 EPB no.5338 can be seen (possibly with two
CEPs behind) – this formed a morning peak to London Bridge (headcode 65). A 4
LAV unit is also visible. |

The first 2 BIL units were constructed for the 1935 extension of
the Brighton line electrification to Seaford, Eastbourne & Hastings, (Ore).
Order number HO 806 (dated 23rd March 1934) was for ten 2-car
units for the semi‑fast and stopping services. They were known as ‘2 BIL’
units; this denoting that both cars of the unit had access to a lavatory (Bi-Lavatory).
These units appeared as nos.1891 – 1900 although the
first unit (delivered in February 1935) was numbered 1890. However, this unit
was renumbered 1900 in January 1936 to make way for the final 2 NOL
unit. The other nine 2 BIL units were ready about March 1935.
All the 2 BIL /2 HAL /2 NOL /2 SL /2 WIM /3-Car Motor Units /4
LAV & 4 SUB units could all run in multiple up to twelve cars. However, all
these units were incompatible with the 4 COR (etc) /5 BEL /6 CITY /6 PAN /6 PUL
range of compatible units.
The 2 BIL units were ordered alongside other batches of stock
for the 1935 electrification extension scheme:
6 PAN units
numbered 2021 – 2037
(Order no. HO 805 - seventeen six-car
corridor units for the express services)
2 NOL
units numbered 1824 – 1855
(Order no. HO 807 - thirty-two two-car
non-gangwayed units for local stopping services).
Public services over the newly electrified lines commenced on 7th July
1935 after a period of trial running from May 1935.
Initial Batch of Ten
This first batch of 2 BIL units (as well as all subsequent
orders) was constructed at Eastleigh on new underframes from Lancing with steel‑clad
timber framed bodies and canvas covered roofs. These units were not gangwayed between cars. However, as they were intended for
use on some quite lengthy services it was considered necessary for all
passengers to have access to a lavatory so each car was provided with a side
corridor and one lavatory these being located at the opposite end to the
driving cabs.
Units were close-coupled within, using the standard suburban
centre-buffer and three-link chain arrangement: this being bolted with shackles
underneath the headstock (keeping the centre-buffer under compression). On cab
ends there was the usual central drawhook with side
buffers. The driving trailer had a centre buffer whilst the motorcoaches had a
rubbing plate.
All the seating was in compartments; each compartment having an
outside access door and a sliding door into the corridor. These units were
similarly equipped to most of the 2 NOL units and the 4 LAV unit
(also the vast majority of the suburban three coach motor units) with electro-magnetic
control equipment (supplied in this case by Metro-Vick), resulting in a large
driver's cab in the motorcoach and a raised floor in the guard's brake as a
result of this control equipment.
In the motorcoaches smoking was allowed in the two compartments
(including the coupés) at the van end of the car and the three at the opposite
(toilet compartment); the two remaining compartments being designated
non-smoking.
In the Driving Trailer Composites smoking was allowed in the
three third compartments behind the cab and in the three first compartments at
the inner (toilet compartment) end of the car; one first class compartment and
the adjacent third-class being designated non-smoking.
Subsequent Batches
Subsequent batches of 2 BIL units were equipped with EE electro-pneumatic control gear (as were the last batch of 2 NOL units and all subsequent ‘1936 type’ stock built); this equipment all being below solebar level to allow a smaller cab to be provided. This difference meant that once again and like the MV control equipped 2 NOL units, there was a difference in the power cable conduit runs between the cab ends of the motorcoach and driving trailer. Visually, these subsequent units could be easily identified from the first ten by the larger cab, large vents on the roof, ventilator bonnets above their droplights and different end-conduit runs. The later batches had the same (driving trailer style) arrangement at both ends.
This first batch of units were regarded as satisfactory and
further batches of units of a similar type were then ordered during 1936 for
the next three electrification extensions as follows:
1901 ‑ 1920
and 1954 ‑ 1971 in 1937 for Portsmouth No. 1 extension
(Order HO 898 dated 8th
January 1936 (36 units) with a further two added as order HO 903 on 27th January
1936).
2049 ‑ 2116
in 1938 for Portsmouth No. 2 extension
(Order HO 949 dated 6th November
1938 - 68 units).
2117 ‑ 2152
in 1939 for Reading extension
(Order HO 948 also dated 6th November
1938 - 36 units).
The two additional units for HO 903 were added when Farnham
- Alton was added to the ‘Portsmouth No. 1’ scheme.
The motorcoaches of each of these further batches (final
numbering 2011 to 2152) had a larger luggage area, six first class compartments
and one four seat coupe (when compared to the first batch of units numbered
2001 to 2010).
SR Renumbering
The rapid expansion of the Southern Railway’s electric fleet had
led to the numbering system becoming rather complex, with the Portsmouth
No 1 batch being split around the existing 4 LAV numbers, and a
renumbering scheme was drawn up from January 1937 to tidy-up the numbers and
put them into a more logical sequence, this affecting the 2 BIL units.
Unit numbers 1891 ‑ 1900 now became nos.2001 ‑ 2010
(renumbered in order) whilst the newly delivered Portsmouth No 1
batch (not yet in traffic but in store or working running-in turns) became nos.2011 ‑ 2048.
The final two batches of units carried their new numbers when delivered.
Changes in
Design
The three larger batches of 2 BIL units had a number of
detail improvements over the first ten units, principally that now having EE
electro-pneumatic control gear allowed a smaller driver's cab and a larger
guard's brake to be provided in the motorcoaches, the luggage space in the
first batch having proved inadequate. The larger guard's brake also meant that
one of the full compartments in each motorcoach was now reduced to a coupe (seating
four) whilst the remaining six compartments were made slightly wider.
Other changes were made to the location of some of the doors
along the corridor side, resulting also in changes to the window layout.
Following a collision at Woking in 1937 when 2 BIL unit no.2046
suffered a partial underframe collapse the final batch of ‘Reading line’ units
featured a reinforced underframe design and heavier self-contained
Spencer-Moulton ‘mainline-style’ buffers (as first used on the 6 PUL units).
This raised the buffing load from 90 to 120 tons. As a result, each
vehicle in the final batch weighed about one ton more than the earlier ones.
30th
March 1963 and 2 BIL unit no.2084 at Ardingly
In Service
Once delivered, this large fleet of 152 units was found working
widely over all the electrified routes of both the Western and Central sections
of the Southern, though they were much less common on the Eastern section,
where similar duties were covered by the 2 HAL units built later for the
Gillingham & Maidstone electrification scheme in 1939.
However, an 8-car 2 BIL formation was diagrammed to cover the 8:23am
Sevenoaks to Cannon Street and 6:5pm return with other associated workings, the
train being berthed at Orpington overnight. The trainset was changed over on
Friday night to New Cross Gate with a fresh train returning to Orpington on
Sunday evenings formed off a service arriving from Brighton. These workings
ceased in February 1939 when new 2 HAL units took over these trains, units
nos.2610 - 2613 being put into traffic for this working from 24th
February 1939.
Formations of units up to twelve cars long could be found from
Waterloo, Victoria and London Bridge. Units on the Central section also
ran in conjunction with 4 LAV and 2 NOL units on some trains, whilst
mixed formations with 4 SUB units were not uncommon.
2 BIL units also deputised from time to time on
suburban services though their lower seating capacity was a disadvantage when
working such trains. However, these units could not run in multiple with the
‘main line’ fleets of PUL /PAN /BEL and COR /RES /BUF units.
All batches of units were intermixed in traffic and units
therefore received their routine maintenance at Fratton, Wimbledon Park
and Lovers Walk depots. Heavier body repairs and overhauls were carried
out at Lancing works whilst electrical overhauls and bogie changes were
dealt with at Slade Green Repair Shop. More serious damage and collision
repairs were carried out at Eastleigh works whilst other unscheduled repairs
were also done at Peckham Rye and later Selhurst Repair Shops. Following
closure of Lancing works in 1963, bodywork overhauls were transferred to
Eastleigh.
The 2 BIL units continued on their intended duties for many
years although four units were destroyed during the war by enemy action and
many others suffered lesser damage. A few others with damaged driving trailers
had these replaced by ‘all‑steel’ type 2 HAL pattern vehicles during
the early 1950's; some of these being mounted on recovered underframes from
damaged vehicles.
The toilet water heaters were isolated during the war years and
not reinstated, though the hot taps remained in the toilets until removed in
the early 1960's.
Nationalisation
Nationalisation in 1948 had little effect other than the units'
livery changing from SR to early BR green upon repaints.
During 1953 all units were modified with a compressor governor
fitted to prevent units being able to take power until sufficient brake
pressure was available to stop the train, this following a ‘runaway’ collision
at Guildford involving a 2 BIL unit.
Similar equipment was fitted to all other units and whilst
modifications were in progress a temporary restriction was imposed on two car units
running solo, this affecting unit diagrams for a while (along with those of the
2 NOL and 2 HAL units). During the modification programme, units
dealt with had a small 2" diameter white circle painted onto their
bodysides close to the cab doors, once all were completed these were then
removed.
From 1956 the 2 NOL units began to be withdrawn, their
bodies scrapped and the underframes recovered for further use in construction
of new ‘SR type’ 2 EPB and 2 HAP units. 2 BIL units were used to
cover some of the former 2 NOL duties, being supplemented by 2 HAL
units now being displaced from the Eastern section by new 2 HAP
units. Unit no.2146 was the first to receive the new style circular BR carriage
crest circa March 1957 replacing the ‘riding lion’ crest used hitherto.
The 2 BIL and 2 HAL units had no operational
distinction (except for a small batch of 2 HAL units used between Victoria
and Gatwick Airport) and were freely mixed from about 1960 onwards.
Abolition of Second Class
When Second-class was abolished on 3rd June 1956 Third-Class
was renamed Second Class resulting in the vehicle types changing, the Motor
Brake Third (MBT) now becoming a Motor Brake Second (MBS).
From 1960 the Southern Region started applying UIC (Union Internationale
des Chemins de fer) yellow cantral bands to
indicate the location of the first class compartments; these becoming the BR
standard from 1963.
Air Horns
In 1963 Southern Electric units began to gain air horns in place
of their whistles; certainly some 2 BIL units received horns in 1964.
Yellow Warning Panels
Small yellow warning panels were painted onto cab ends from October
1963 with unit nos.2015 being the first 2 BIL unit so treated. Eventually the
yellow later being extended to the whole cab end; some yellow ends wrapping
around the cab sides. With the yellow warning panels /ends came the black
inverted triangle on the motorcoaches; this denoted that there was no brake van
at the other end of the unit.
A system of electrical code letters allocated to each vehicle
was introduced in 1963 and the 2 BIL units were included in this, the
motorcoaches becoming CA whilst the driving trailers were DA, though the first
ten units were not included in the scheme.

Blue & Withdrawal
From late 1967 units began to be repainted into BR blue livery
with full yellow ends; unit no.2111 being the first in October 1967. Following
the replacement of the 4 LAV units on the Brighton line in 1968 /1969 by
new 4 VEP units, further batches of the 4 VEP units were ordered to begin
replacement of the 2 BIL and 2 HAL fleet and withdrawals of undamaged
units began in 1969, some still being in green livery.
The first ten 2 BIL units were among the earliest withdrawn and
delivery of further 4 VEP and 4 CIG units and redeployment of
2 HAP units saw the 2 BIL fleet steadily lose the main line stopping
duties on the Portsmouth line. Displaced 4 COR units were then used to
replace the units on the Waterloo to Reading /Guildford lines and further
4 VEP deliveries saw the last scheduled workings on the Brighton main line
on 30th April 1971, leaving their last duties on coastal local
trains from Brighton.
The final day of normal public service for the 2 BIL (and
2 HAL) units was 29th July 1971 with units nos.2016 /2034 /2111
/2023 & 2040 in use. Three units were retained for a final railtour on 25th September 1971 when the last
three (nos.2111 /2035 & 2040) were withdrawn.
Withdrawn units were sent to Slade Green, thence Selhurst for
stripping of equipment prior to sale to scrap dealers and disposal. However,
one unit (no.2090) was claimed by the National Railway Museum and preserved. Unless
accident-damaged most units were withdrawn in batches and stored at various
locations around the system awaiting movement to Slade Green /Selhurst for
electrical stripping.
Some units were out of use for a few days/weeks prior to their
official withdrawal date. Following stripping there were further periods of
storage before units were hauled away to the scrap dealer to which they had
been sold. The ‘scrap date’ in the following lists is usually the month in
which the units were hauled away from the SR, but some survived for some time
afterwards in scrap yards prior to being broken‑up.
As part of the TOPS system, in 1972 the class number 401 was
allocated to the 2 BIL fleet. However, as units had all been withdrawn for
disposal by this time this was not carried on any of the units.
20th
August 1962 and 2 BIL no.2004 leads another into Ardingly
This first batch of ten units (delivered early in 1935) were the
prototypes for the larger batches of units built during the next three years.
Each unit consisted of a Motor Brake Third (MBT) and a Driving Trailer
Composite (DTC), and had similar equipment to contemporary suburban units. Cab
end design was similar with a domed roof and the usual side buffers, central drawhook and low-level air brake hoses whilst power,
control and lighting jumpers were mounted on the cab end.
A standard stencil route indicator was fitted between the two
cab observation lights, with the whistle to the nearside of the driver's
window. The secondman’s window is hinged (on the external door side) to open outwards
in order to for the driver to lean out and change the route indicator’s
stencils; the opening frame of this window making it look smaller in size when
compared to the (fixed) driver’s window.
The bodysides along the luggage van and cab area was not
flattened and inset as on the 4 LAV units, therefore the cabs at both ends
of the unit were full width. Each car had a full-length side corridor, both
these being along the same side of the unit as marshalled. When the motorcoach
was leading the corridors were on the nearside.
The Motor Brake Third consisted of driver's cab entered by
inwards opening doors each side, this cab being 9' 1" wide to
accommodate some of the electro-magnetic control equipment behind the driver.
Like similarly equipped suburban and 2 NOL units, this resulted in power
conduits running up to roof level on the left-hand side of each observation
window (as seen facing the cab).
The guard's brake van followed (there was no access from this to
either the cab or the passenger area of the car), this being 7' 11¾"
wide and with a pair of outward opening doors each side for access. No side
lookout duckets were provided; the Guard having periscopes in each direction to
assist with observing signals.
The remainder of the Motor Brake Third consisted of seven third-class
compartments (all 5' 11" wide each seating eight) giving an overall
capacity of fifty-six third. Each compartment had an exterior access door
whilst there were three doors along the corridor side. From the guard's end
these were placed opposite the partition of the first /second, the door of the
fourth and the partition of the sixth /seventh compartments, resulting in an
outside window layout of large sidelight (L/S/L), door, three L/S/L, door,
three L/S/L, door, L/S/L and toilet window.
The lavatory was located at the inner end of the car. This car
was given the diagram number 2111 and weighed 43 tons 6cwt. The motor bogie
below the driver's cab was equipped with shoegear and fitted with two MV339
motors of 275hp, though these were replaced by EE339 motors during the 1950's.
Smoking was allowed in the two compartments at the van end of the car and the three
at the opposite (toilet compartment) end.
The Driving Trailer Composite consisted of a driver's cab
4' 8 & 3/8" deep followed by eight compartments, the four behind
the cab being third class and 6' 3" wide, the four at the inner end
being first class and 7' 1¾" wide, and finally a lavatory compartment
at the inner end of the car.
The corridor was along the offside when the cab was leading, the
opposite side to that of the motorcoach so that both corridors were along the
same side of the unit.
Each third-class compartment again seated eight and the firsts
seated six; giving this car a total of twenty-four first and thirty-two third-class
seats. There were four access doors along the corridor side, located (from the
cab end) opposite the partitions of the first /second, third /fourth, fifth /sixth
and seventh /eighth compartments. There were L/S/L windows on each side of each
door opening with three ¼ light windows splitting pairs of L/S/L windows
along the corridor length to give a regular large/¼/large window pattern. Each
compartment again had an access door on the non-corridor side. This car was to
diagram number 2700 and weighed 30 tons 17cwt.
Smoking was allowed in the three third compartments behind the
cab and in the three first compartments at the inner (toilet compartment) end
of the car; one first class compartment and the adjacent third-class being
designated non-smoking. Power conduits at this end of the unit looped up each
side of the headcode glass and did not run onto the roof dome.
Overall length of the unit was 129' 5" and they
weighed 74¼ tons and seated twenty-four first and eighty-eight third. The
non-corridor side had standard size ¼ light windows each side of the door
droplight, whilst those on the corridor side were carried right up to the
roofline, though the door droplights were of standard size.
The passenger door droplights were to a new design with no
frame, having a brass bar along the top edge and a wooden locking bar at the
bottom controller by a lever to lock /unlock then and allow the droplight to be
moved, traditional wooden framed droplights with leather straps to control the
amount of opening were retained for the guard‘s and cab doors. Above each
passenger droplight each door had a ventilation louvre with the vent along the
bottom edge. Wooden panelling in the corridor was painted cream, whilst the
compartments had varnished wooden panels.
These units were ready prior to the opening of the Eastbourne
& Hastings electrification scheme and were run-in on the Brighton line,
indeed virtually all the diagrammed workings were on the main Brighton line as
all workings east of Keymer Junction were covered by
6 car PUL and PAN units and 2 NOL units. As a consequence, the 2 BIL units
found themselves operating alongside 4 LAV units on semi-fast and stopping
services between London Brighton as well as to Reigate.
Four units were soon being loaned to the Eastern section (1936) until
displaced by new 2 HAL units in February 1939; these operated a peak-hour
Sevenoaks – Cannon Street service (via Orpington) – am Up /pm Down. Once
further batches of 2 BIL units were built, this batch were intermixed with
them after the completion of the Portsmouth No.2 scheme and worked wherever
2 BIL units were diagrammed.
Unit no.2006 was disbanded in July 1963 and used as part of a
loco-hauled electrically heated set on the Oxted line, two units were withdrawn
in July 1968 after exchanging their DTCs with damaged ones from later build
units and the remainder in 1969 and stripped at Slade Green or Selhurst prior
to sale for scrapping.
As these units were among the earliest withdrawn none received
blue livery. However, units nos.2003 /2005 /2009 & 2010 gained full yellow
ends, those on unit no.2009 wrapping round onto the bodysides as far back as
the leading edge of the driver's door.
The following list shows unit formations with the original unit
number also shown and the dates units were completed and withdrawn, also the
date and location of scrapping.

This was the first built unit in February 1935 and delivered
as unit no.1890. Unit commenced service 25-Feb-35. It was renumbered 1900 in

This batch of units were authorised for the Portsmouth
No. 1 electrification scheme and were built as unit numbers 1901 ‑ 1920
and 1954 ‑ 1971 but all were renumbered before entering public
traffic.
Units were completed from August 1936 until January 1937 and
stored on delivery, trial running commencing in February 1937. These units
differed from the first batch in a number of ways, the principal difference
being the adoption of electro-pneumatic control gear allowing a smaller
driver's cab in the motorcoach, a larger guard's brake and the reduction of the
number of compartments in the motorcoach from 7 to 6½. Other changes involved
the door positioning along the corridor side of the trailer and consequential
alterations to the window layout, flusher fitting fixed windows mounted from
the outside in aluminium frames and no ventilation louvre above door
droplights.
The Motor Brake Third consisted of driver's cab 4' 8½"
deep, guard's brakevan now 11' 9½" wide,
coupe compartment 4' 2½" wide seating four and six third class
compartments each 6' 3" wide. This car seated fifty-two and was to
diagram number 2115 and weighed 43 tons 5cwt. Motors were the EE339 275hp type
from new with EE control equipment. The floor of the guard's brake van was now
flat with the remainder of the car, whilst along the corridor side, the first
L/S/L before the door at the guard's end was replaced by a ¼ light, and there
was no frosted glass window opposite the toilet compartment door.
The Driving Trailer Composite had an identical internal layout
to those of the first batch, the main difference being the moving of the first
door at the cab end on the corridor side forwards to be opposite the doorway
into the first compartment, remaining door positions being as before. The
intermediate non-doorway ¼ light windows were dispensed with and the car now
had the following arrangement from the cab end, ¼ light, door, three L/S/L,
door, two L/S/L, door, three L/S/L, door and ¼ light. Diagram number was
2701, the car weighed 30 tons 17cwt and seated twenty-four first and thirty-two
third.
Overall unit length remained at 129' 5" and overall
weight was now 74 tons 2cwt, whilst seating capacity was now twenty-four first
and eighty-four third. The coupe compartment had the four seats facing
backwards (away from the driving cab) and there was a shelf along the wall
opposite, this compartment being intended for train crew travelling ‘passenger’
if required.
The panelling in the corridors was now varnished teak and use
was made of ‘Rexine’, a synthetic leathercloth for
other panel trim.
Units receiving full yellow ends whilst in green livery were as
follows: 2011 /2021 /2026 /2028 /2038 & 2048, those on all except 2048
wrapping round onto the bodysides as far back as the leading edge of the
driver's door.
Units painted blue (with full yellow ends) were as follows: nos.2016
/2022 /2024 /2025 /2028 /2032 /2033 /2034 /2036 & 2043.
Unit formations were as shown below, with the original unit
number also shown, date of delivery, date of withdrawal and date and location
of scrapping. Units were renumbered in January 1937.

Units
Numbered 2049 ‑ 2116
This batch of units was authorised for the Portsmouth No. 2
electrification scheme and were identical to the previous batch with the
exception of the final unit built. This whole batch were completed between August
1937 and January 1938; entering service working with the earlier units. These
units carried their new 20xx numbers from new.
The final unit (no. 2116) of the batch was experimentally built
of ‘all‑steel’ construction with steel panels welded onto a steel
framework and differed slightly in appearance from the other units,
particularly in the roof detail. It also had heavier self-contained Spencer-Moulton
‘mainline-style’ buffers rather than the solid shank type fitted to the earlier
units.
Unit no. 2054 was outshopped from Lancing in August 1945 in a
plain grey livery, presumably due to wartime paint shortages, gaining malachite
green in September. Units gaining full yellow ends with green livery were nos.
2050 /2053 /2055 /2056 /2057 /2060 /2065 /2074 /2078 /2083 /2089 /2090 /2093 /2113
/2116, those with the yellow wrapping onto the bodyside were nos.2050 /2053 /2056
/2060 /2074 /2083 /2089 /2093 /2116, whilst the following were painted blue
with full yellow ends nos.2052 /2058 /2062 /2064 /2067 /2072 /2074 /2075 /2080 /2086
/2090 /2098 /2099 /2101 /2103 /2104 /2111 /2112.

29th October 1961 and 2 BIL unit
no.2150 takes second-stage at Horsted Keynes
Units
Numbered 2117 ‑ 2152
Built between August and November 1938 this final batch of
thirty-six 2 BIL units was authorised for the extension of electrification
from Virginia Water to Reading (Southern), Ascot to Ash Vale and Aldershot
(South Junction) to Guildford. This scheme covered 88 track miles and also
included electrifying the local lines between Pirbright Junction and Sturt Lane
Junction and round the spur to Frimley Junction though these lines were not
used by regular timetabled electric trains.
Engineering work for this scheme was less extensive than that
required for both the Portsmouth schemes and involved lengthening platforms to
540' where necessary and a new goods yard was provided at Virginia Water
as a consequence of track layout alterations there.
At Ascot there were separate platforms for the Reading and
Guildford lines and a new spur was provided at the west end of the station to
allow the splitting of electric trains there for both routes. This required the
provision of a new signal box and the new arrangements being brought into use
from 16th October 1938.
Berthing sidings were provided at Reading and additional sidings
electrified at Guildford. Power supplies for this scheme saw current taken from
the CEGB at Reading and distributed to ten rectifier substations, six of these
between Virginia Water and Reading, three between Ascot and Ash Vale and
one between Aldershot and Guildford. These were controlled from the existing
control room at Woking.
Commencement of Services
Trial running of electric trains began from 30th October
1938, though a unit had been steam‑hauled to Reading on 23rd October
for shoe clearance trials, and the full public service commenced from 1st January
1939 although the official opening had taken place on 30th December
1938 when a 4 BUF unit ran from Waterloo to Reading picking up Mayors,
Town Clerks and other civic leaders en-route.
The train service consisted of trains at ½ hourly frequency
running fast from Waterloo to Staines and dividing at Ascot for Reading &
Guildford, the Guildford portion reversing at Aldershot. In busy hours the
frequency stepped up to every twenty minutes and there were a few trains from
Ascot to Woking via Aldershot with London connections to avoid Camberley line
passengers having to change at Ash Vale.
Delivery Units nos.2117 ‑ 2152
Units nos.2117 ‑ 2152 provided for this scheme
were delivered from September 1938 to February 1939 and the bodies were
identical to those of the previous two batches of units with the exception of
the use of wider ‘Alpax’ aluminium flanges around the
window frames. This batch also had stronger underframes (through the provision
of additional cross-bracing) and heavier self-contained Spencer Moulton buffers
(instead of the lighter ‘suburban-style’) and each vehicle was heavier, the
MBTs now weighing 44 tons 8cwt and the DTCs 31 tons 13cwt giving a
revised unit total of 76 tons.
The strength of the pre-war SR electric stock was not great when
compared to the post-war (pre-1951) Southern Region stock or proposed strength
for 1951 British Railways stock. The shear strength of the body was taken at a
point just above floor level with the figure based on the ultimate shear
strength of the materials involved.

With its 1955-built DTC, 2 BIL unit
no.2069 at Hove Station, Aug 1964
Additional
DTC Vehicles
Built for 2 BIL and 2 HAL units
Five DTCs were constructed between late 1950 and early 1955,
three on underframes from collision /fire damaged 2 BIL and 2 HAL
vehicles, numbered 12854 ‑ 12858. These cars were formed into
various 2 BIL and 2 HAL units to make up accident losses, but one
(12855) was paired with a 4 SUB type saloon motorcoach and used to make up
a further 2 HAL unit numbered 2700 from July 1954.
In the middle of the car one first-class and the immediately
adjacent second-class compartment were designated non-smoking.
These vehicles were to Diagram 2705 and Code DQ.
Order
No. HO 3618 dated 2‑Nov‑49
12854 on underframe of 12121 (ex 2088) for 2 HAL unit no.2653.

7TC set no.701 sitting in a condemned road at Micheldever c.1969 with former DTC nearest (now TC 12107). The set received blue livery and had its headcode removed at Eastleigh (outshopped September 1967). However, following two fires in October 1967 the set languished for some time at Selhurst before being condemned. Note the leading bogie still retails its shoebeam brackets. |
With the dieselisation of the Oxted line there was a shortage of
electrically heated stock to work with the BRCW Type 3 Diesel Locomotives
(later Class 33). 2 BIL unit no.2006 was disbanded on the 27th June
1963 after damage repairs to DTC 12107 and both cars transferred to set no.900
sandwiching five former 4 SUB trailer cars. The shoegear and control equipment
was removed and the jumper cables modified. MBS 10573 operated as a trailer
brake second with motors removed reducing the car’s weight from 43 to 35 tons.
Both vehicles had their jumpers altered to allow heating from the diesel
locomotives. The lavatories and first class compartments remained. Livery was
the darker shade of BR(S) multiple unit green.
Four of the SUB vehicles were 1946-built wooden /canvas roofed
10 compartment 'augmentation' trailers numbered 10346 /10349 /10351 & 10353
which had been removed from units nos.4329 /4346 /4328 & 4352 respectively.
These 4 SUB units had been withdrawn in 1960/1 with the remaining ‘original’
SUB trailers from these units having been scrapped at Newhaven. After storage
on the former spur line from Winchester Junction to Worthy Down (the spur
became a siding on 25th November 1951 before removal on 24th
June 1962) they were moved to Fullerton Goods Yard thence to Micheldever before being taken to Eastleigh for overhaul.
During overhaul they were fitted with glass-fibre doors.
The fifth SUB trailer was 1946-built 11485 which had been
removed from unit 4115 during July 1963 and was equipped with a lighting
generator. This was an all-steel 9 compartment trailer; these having been
designed as composites but never previously used in that guise. For set no.900
11485 had its six centremost compartments fitted out as first class thus
becoming the only one of these trailers to be used as a composite. The single
second class compartment was marshalled towards the DTC.
Immediately prior to their use in set 900 all these trailers
were equipped with self-coloured fibreglass doors.
Set no.900 was released from Eastleigh works on 6th
September 1963 being ready for service on the next day. From 9th
September 1963 its usual workings were the 7:25am Tunbridge Wells to London
Bridge (via East Grinstead) berthing at New Cross Gate in readiness for the
5:20pm return. Overnight and weekends it was berthed at Eridge.
In February 1966 set no.900 became 7 TC no.701 and
although ‘TC’ designated ‘Trailer Control’ set 701 never had the driving cabs
reinstated. In any event the lack of side-buffers between intermediate vehicles
would have probably precluded pull-push operation.
Following the 2nd January 1967 closure of Ashurst
Junction to East Grinstead set no.701’s service now departed Crowborough at
07:57am running via Edenbridge Town but still departed London Bridge at
17:20pm. Overnight and weekend berthing was now undertaken at Crowborough.
On 19th July 1967 set no.701 was overhauled at
Eastleigh in all-over blue (and strangely) with full yellow ends but with the
headcode panels now plated over. Vehicle
11485 received UIC yellow banding over its first-class compartments.
Between 21st July and 27th September 1967,
the duties of set no.701 were covered by a mixed loco-hauled set comprising Bullied
BCK, Mk1 FO and five Mk1 S coaches; these being displaced from Waterloo –
Basingstoke services by the new electric trains of the Bournemouth
electrification.
However, after two electrical fires in October 1967 set no.701 ceased
being used, it underwent repairs at Selhurst between 4-Nov-67 and 13-Nov-67 but
was then stored at Tennison Road Sidings (Norwood Junction) thence Micheldever before being disbanded early in 1969. Both ex.2
BIL cars 10573 and 12107 were withdrawn on 12th April 1969 at Micheldever before being used (along with a SUB trailer) for
a Fire Brigade exercise at Woking in November 1969. The 2 BIL cars were subsequently
moved for scrapping at A. King Ltd. (Wymondham) on 31st Jan 1970.
The SUB trailers all saw further service; 9-compartment composite
11485 was declassified to all-second and during modification for use in unit no.5115
(which had suffered accident damage at Norwood Junction) was renumbered as
15084. 10346 went to 4 SUB unit no.4131 in June 1969; 10349 & 10351 to unit
no.4132 in August 1969 and 10353 to unit no.4364 (which had suffered accident
damage at Hampton Court).

2 BIL unit no.2051 leads 2 HAL no.2620 as they call
at a neat and tidy Barnham station working the 08.45hrs Brighton to
Portsmouth Harbour on Saturday 1st March 1969. Unit
no.2051 was withdrawn just over a year later still in this livery having led
a fairly blameless existence from August 1937 although its DTC was slightly
damaged by enemy action at Durnsford Road on
Wednesday 22nd March 1944. ©

Unit Liveries
Units entered
service in SR lined Olive green before most received Malachite Green; the
pre-war Malachite appearing to be lighter than post-war. Initially under
British Railways (following nationalisation on 1st
January 1948) units will have
continued to be outshopped in Southern Railway Malachite Green using Southern
typeface; the exact date of change of typeface at Lancing is currently
uncertain and possibly pre-dates the change to ‘early’ BR Green.
BR Green Liveries
Whilst the
Railway Executive published its ten standard liveries in February 1949 there
would have been a delay before adoption at various railway depots. Individual
unit record cards shew BR Green being used at least by 17th May 1949 although exactly what shade
this ‘early’ BR Green was is not described thereon. Prior to this date units
are described as ‘BR Repaint’ until further details emerge as to the change
from Malachite to BR Green (the precise
difference being unclear although some Lancing Carriage Works notes appear to
separately identify the two).
Under British
Railways, Southern electric multiple units were initially outshopped in ‘early’
BR Green (more akin to Malachite) with later repaints from 9th July
1956-on being undertaken in the later darker BR Green at Lancing Carriage
Works; 4 COR unit no.3132 was the last to be repainted in ‘early’ BR Green
(outshopped Monday 2nd July 1956) with 4 SUB unit no.4112 being the
first to be painted into ‘darker’ BR Green (outshopped Monday 9th
July 1956).
At this time
locomotive-hauled coaching set 974 appeared in BR Green (outshopped Wednesday
11th July 1956) with coaching set 466 being the last full set
outshopped in CLC on Tuesday 10th July 1956.
Abolition Second Class
(Sunday, 3rd June 1956)
Like the
locomotive-hauled coaching stock, any Southern Railway multiple units still
carrying the Third-class ‘3’ on their doors would have had these removed either
the first varnish or repaint after 3rd June 1956.
Yellow Warning Panels
The inverted black triangle on yellow warning panels /ends was
there to provide an early indication to station staff that there was no brake van at the other end of the
unit.
Following early ‘yellow warning-panel’ experiments including
a BR(S) Type JA EDL and a 4 SUB unit no.4378 in 1962, Lancing started with
yellow panels in 1963; the first possibly being unit
no.2128 on 9th October 1963). Eastleigh followed with 4 LAV unit no.2929 on
1st November 1963. At Selhurst the application of yellow warning
panels appears to have commenced with unit no.4101 on 18th February
1965. Yellow warning panels were usually (but not
always) added during repaints or varnishing.
Most 2 BIL units subsequently received yellow
warning panels thence full-yellow ends (§ yellow wrap); some eventually
received BR Blue with full-yellow ends; none were painted blue with yellow
warning panels.
UIC First-class Yellow Cantrail Banding
With the
exception of the 4 BEP /4 CEP units the first Southern electric unit to receive
UIC First-class cantrail banding was 4 LAV unit no.2926 (TC car 11509)
outshopped from Lancing 3rd November 1962. It is believed that all
units painted else next varnished after this date received the UIC First-class banding;
sometimes pre-dating the application of yellow warning panels.
Lancing, Eastleigh & Selhurst Paint Shops
Painting was
undertaken at Lancing Carriage Works else Eastleigh (denoted thus ~) or Selhurst (denoted thus *) after the recorded paint
date (of the last car repainted of each unit). Some but not all units received
yellow warning panels during their repaints.
